Your daily pampering time: detailed care tips for hair extensions
You probably have an evening routine for your skin. You take off your makeup and wash your face. Maybe there are even more steps in your routine – so it's easy to add a few little pampering moments for your hair. After all, your hair needs at least as much love and attention as your skin.
With a few tricks, you can extend the life of your hair as a human hair extensions wearer. We explain how best to store Clip-in Extensions, how to wear your Tape-in Extensions at night so they don't tangle, and how and when to wash your extensions.
1. Storing clip-in extensions carefully:
Clip-in extensions are popular because they're so easy to use. But how should you store them to extend their lifespan? Make sure you remove them carefully from your hair after wearing them. Gently detangle them and then lay them flat in their storage box. Keep them in a cool, dry place so they don't mat or lose their shape.
2. The right nighttime care for permanent extensions:
If you wear permanent extensions, nighttime is crucial. To keep the strands from tangling, it's a good idea to braid your hair into a loose braid before bed. This minimizes friction and knots. Use a silk pillowcase to avoid rubbing against cotton pillowcases and reduce the risk of frizz and breakage.
3. The right washing routine for extensions:
Proper care when washing your extensions is key to making them last. Use mild, sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners. Before washing your extensions, gently detangle them with a special extensions brush. Wash your hair in mild, lukewarm water and avoid rubbing the attachment points of permanent extensions too hard.
4. The best time to wash your extensions:
When it comes to the best time to wash your extensions, it depends on your lifestyle. In general, however, it's recommended every 7–10 days. If you exercise regularly, you may need to wash them more often to remove sweat and product buildup.
Expert tip:
Never wash your extensions in the evening. Even if it feels dry, your hair can still contain up to 25% moisture. Sleeping with damp hair can lead to breakage.
With these care tips, you can make sure your hairpieces are always in top shape. Take the time to treat your hair as lovingly as your skin, and you'll be rewarded with healthy, radiant extensions. Stay tuned for more helpful tips and advice on caring for your beautiful hair extensions!
